FLOOD

 

International competition for Young architects Europan 08

With Joaquín Esperón

Alcazar de San Juan, Spain, 2005

SECOND PRIZE

 

The delicate situation between a suburban area and a valuable natural surrounding induces a great dilemma: who colonizes whom?

An invasive strategy is proposed: A flooding symmetric to the grid of the expansion. The green environment is converted into the positive element of the project. The city is seen as a subtraction which is ruled by nature, it appears as a remaining entity, a negation, resulting from the determination of the natural spaces.
